I've resisted responding to this post for a long while, but can't resist any more.

I have three grandchildren who have no paternal grandfather. Their paternal grandfather died about three months before their father was born.

He died at second base.

In ASA JO ball, don't come to my game wearing a necklace. If you have a hair thingy on your wrist, put it in your hair or your pocket. No loopy earrings.

But damned sure no necklaces. And no, you can't tape it down. One death is enough.

(And donations are still being accepted all these years later for the Dana Wall Memorial Fund, First United Bank, Dimmitt, TX. It has put dozens of kids through college and will help three kids close to my heart someday, too.)

And before I forget, no necklaces on my field.

OK. Back to clock winding. Poofers!
